I actually rather like win 10. Win 11 I'm holding off on until they fix the taskbar.
If they go subscription, I go Ubuntu.
You can just set win 11 to win 10 Taskbar. First thing I ever did. I haven't minded win 11 at all. Unlike win 8 which was so much trash.
I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the centre position of the Start menu, haha. I do use Stardock's Start11 to have the layout of W10, because the W11 menu is trash imo. But having a very wide/large screen, it's way nicer to have the menu in the center.
I don't get why they removed the option to place the bar anywhere you want tho... That's always a step back. Even if I don't use it personally, I can see why this would be a massive pain for others.
I used a Macbook for 10 years so perhaps I'm conditioned to it at this point, but I also like the center taskbar. I use it on my personal Win11 laptop at home and I think it's perfectly fine.
On the other hand, I support IT for a large enterprise of users who are mostly computer illiterate and I am dreading our inevitable upgrade to Win11 if the taskbar is not preconfigured to the left-side setting. Expecting a flood of tickets from people wondering why their buttons aren't in the right place.
